An Arithmetic Riemann-Roch Theorem for Singular Arithmetic Surfaces

Download or read book An Arithmetic Riemann-Roch Theorem for Singular Arithmetic Surfaces written by Wayne Aitken and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1996 with total page 189 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following gives a development of Arakelov theory general enough to handle not only regular arithmetic surfaces but also a large class of arithmetic surfaces whose generic fiber has singularities. This development culminates in an arithmetic Riemann-Roch theorem for such arithmetic surfaces. The first part of the memoir gives a treatment of Deligne's functorial intersection theory, and the second develops a class of intersection functions for singular curves which behaves analogously to the canonical Green's functions introduced by Arakelov for smooth curves.
